Ilford HP5 @800
  • 500ml tap water
  • 15g Washing Soda
  • 10g Vitamin C
  • 20g Instant coffee
  • 10g iodised salt
  • Semi Stand development. 

Dev time 14.4 mins (14 min 24 sec) with agitation every minute 

Additional 4.8 mins (4 min 48 sec) of Stand development

@20°C - Total: 19.2 mins (19 min 12 sec)


Directions:

Mix ingredients in water @20°C; in the above order, and assure each ingredient is dissolved before adding the next. Once mixed, let sit for 10 minutes to allow micro-bubbles to settle. 
Alternatively, for better mixing results; split the water into 2 x 250ml portions. 
Portion 1: mix coffee until dissolved
Portion 2: mix all other ingredients until dissolved
Combine both portions, mix and let sit.


Time / Temperature Adjustments:

@20° - Total: 19.2 mins (19:12) (as above)

@20.5° - 13.68 (13:41) + 4.56 = 18.24 (18:15)

@21° - 13.0 (13:00) + 4.3 = 17.3 (17:20)

@21.5 - 12.38 (12:23) + 4.12 = 16.5

@22° 11.78 (11:47) + 3.92 = 15.7
